Corneli-Cecile was born mentally handicapped and I once read that she lives in a home for mental deseased people since years. The last photo of her was published I think on her mother´s second marriage with the Duke of Oldenburg.

I dont know if this has been posted, but the grandmother of Prince George Friedrich, Furstin Irene Castell-Rudenhausen passed away on December 16. Here is a link to the Preussen website where the announcement was posted:

There is another more recent of Georg Friedrich's sister, Cornelia Cecilia...she was actually born with a type of in utero encephilitis which is commonly tested for now, but was not known during her birth year. This actually caused the retardation. It's ashame because now this is treatable and preventable!

The guy from San Diego (who's name is Ken) is very well known to us, in fact he's been banned from the Forums.
Harmless? On the surface, yes, but there was another side, as we discovered.

Duke Paul's Spanish wife is very well connected: her mother is Princess Monika of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg, and her brother married Princess Katharina of Hohenberg.

Didn't the sister of Duke Paul marry a Habsburg, too? Eilika & Georg von Habsburg? The Hohenbergs being Habsburgs through the marriage of Franz Ferdinand of Habsburg with Sophie Countess Chotek who was elevated to the rank of Duchess of Hohenberg even though the marriage was considered morganatic.

No, Archduchess Eilika is a 1st cousin of Duke Paul. Her father is Duke Johann of Oldenburg and her mother a countess zu Ortenberg.

And her sister Duchess Tatiana was engaged to Prince Jean of France, Duke of Vendôme in 2000.

I still remember the pictures in Point de Vue, sadly the late Countess of Paris vetoed the marriage (Tatiana wasn' t a catholic and did not want to convert).

Anyway, does anybody know if Georg-Friedrich is still dating Sophie of Ysenburg Birstein? One of her sisters married Fuerst Carl of Wied and another one married Archduke Martin (brother of Archduke Lorenz).

From nettyroyal.nl

Prince Wilhelm Karl of Prussia died on Monday. He was born on 30 January 1922 at the Villa Quandt in Potsdam as youngest child of Prince Oskar and Ina-Marie Countess von Bassewitz-Levetzov. He married in 1952 Armgard von Veltheim. They had one daughter and two sons. They survive him as well as two grandsons and a granddaughter. A funeral service will be held at the Berliner Dom on 19 April 2007 at 14.00. Afterwards he will be buried in Potsdam. He was the last surviving grandchild of Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany.

That is so sad..it must have been a tough time for their mother Donata. First she loses her husband and then there are problems with her daughter. I never knew that Corneli-Cecile was born handicapped. Does she still live with her mother? And where would I find a more recent photo? Thanks!

That's a toughie because she isn't seen at many events. I think she lives in a special group home outside of her family home, but I can't be sure. She seems very independent at any rate - I don't know the extent of the disability. There was one picture of her with her brother at one event but I don't have it. If I find it, I will post it for you. As for a very recent photo, I don't think one exists in the public domain :(

Thanks, that would be great! I tried to find some pics on the net but all of them were quite old. Judging from the pictures she doesn't look that handicapped but of course it's hard to tell. It's great that she seems independent. In which part of Germany does she live?

If you click on the Picture that says "Die Preussischen Hohenzollern" there is a video stream. It says below to: "Klik auf das Bild startet einen Video-Stream". You can actually listen to GF speak and see a brief introduction to the documentary. All in German, untranslated.
